Bisnarck's Heavy Hand To Be Laid Upon
Alsace- Lorraine with Increased Weight.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, March 26.-Prince Bismarck is not
following the road to German popularity in
Alsace Lorraine. Cancellation being out of the
question, the Chancellor has no alternative but
to coerce, and he is not the man to stick at tri-
FEES The result of fifteen years government of
the Rhenish provinces by Germany has shown
itself in solld vote against the German govern
ment at the last election. 1t would hardly be
creditable to the annexed provinces il it were
otherwise They have felt the impact OF the
conqueror's iron heel until, within the past two
years, the great towns of Strasburg and Metz
have been deprived of local sef-government.
The privilege was only granted them where
there seemed probability of German major

tory order was issued forbidding all members
Of the active or territorial armies OF
France remaining in the provinces.

Comparison with this Asace Lorraine coercion
bill. Germany means TO keep the conquered
provinces for their strategic value. but in times
Of peace they are a positive weakness to the
empire. They cost very large sum OF money,
snd they need an exceptional army and very
vigorous system of espionage. The government
Of Alsace- Lorraine is a military despotism, but
It is about as good as that kind OF government
can be. 1t is backed up BY good deal OF petty
tyranny but that, too, is ecessary to complete
the system. 1t allows no Eope of different con-
iitions. There is no coucealment about 1t. no
attempt to disguise the facts under smooth
names The burgomaster who supports can
ddate who is displeasng to the government is
promptly suppressed; the choir which enlivens
that candidates meetings shares the Same fate.
and finally coercion laws proposed to punish
the whole people for electing such candidates.
There will be q great struggle in the ReichstaG
when the bill comes before that body for con
sideratior. The present indications are that
Bismarck will not be successful with the bill
as he was with the septenate. His policy toward

WASHINGTON, March 26-The railroad COM
panes have chosen to construe the interstate
commerce bill as prohibiting them from issuing
passes to any one under any circumstances.
There is no definite and distinct provision in the
bill in this respect. but the companies are un-
doubted1y anxious to seize upon some pretext
which shall be available when they are asked to
issue free transportation No one who has not
been connected with one of the great trunk lines
of the country can have any idea of the length to
which the pass system has grown A few years
ago member of Congress from Pennsylvania
had his eyes opened very wide when he applied
for pass for enc of his constituents. This Nom
Der was under great obligations to political
friend. to whom he owed his success. and whom
he desired to compensate in some manner. He
asked this friend what he could do for him.
and the friend replied that there was only
one thing he wanted. and that was an annual
pass over the Pennsylvania railway system. The
Congressman at once set out for Philadelphia
where he called upon President Roberts, of the
Pennsylvania road, and stated his request Mr.
him to comply with it. The Congressman said
that he would be willing to surrender his own
pass, and to pay fare every time he travelled, if
the request of his constituent could be complied
with. President Roberts said that he would Law
the case before the board of directors, and would
give reply the following day. The board met,
and the request was refused. When the Con-
gresham again called upon him, Mr.. Roberts
told him of the action of the board, aud said:
Have you any idea of the number of passes
which found to be outstanding when assumed
the duties of my Officer The member replied
that che had no idea" Mr.. Roberts said,
there were no less thar sixty thousand. and

compelled to refuse al. requests in consequence ~

He had been support ed by the Cutters union, but lately went to Northfeld and went to work for the Catlins.

Why Are Women More Nervous Than
 RTen1

Because they have a more sensitive organ ism, and the ordinary impressions from the wear, tear and worry of life act as enervat- ors on such, and break down the strength of their nerves as hard physical labor does that of the muscles The cares of women are more complex and wearing than those of men, hence the nervous system becomes habituated to great delicacy and sensitive ness. Such an organism is easily prostrated. This was the great field the Moxie Nerve Food struck, and its five million bottle sale in sixteen months was because it's proprie- tors were lucky enough to strike public want no other remedy has supplied. Its popularity among the women is unexam- pied. It helps this nervous prostration like a food, leaving no signs of stimulation, reac- tion or harm, and it is fast becoming com mon means of support.
